How NEKTON is Embracing the Spirit of the 2025 World Foiling Congress

As the 2025 World Foiling Congress concludes in Genoa, bringing together global thought leaders to shape the future of hydrofoil technology, NEKTON is proud to echo its core message: collaboration, innovation, and sustainable growth are essential to the next wave of water-based mobility and sport.

From the electrified surf to the thrill of aquatic karting, NEKTON stands at the forefront of the emerging electric water sports industry, committed to the same principles championed at this year’s congress.

Leading the Charge in Electrified Foiling

The World Foiling Congress emphasized the urgent need for sustainable, high-performance watercraft — a vision NEKTON has been pioneering through our flagship products:

  • NEKTON S9 Electric Jetboard
    Engineered for maximum flow and agility, the S9 combines cutting-edge jet propulsion with a modular hydrofoil system, allowing riders to experience the freedom of both surf and flight. It represents not just a product, but a step toward redefining personal marine mobility.
  • NEKTON K7 Electric Water Go-Kart
    Designed to bring the joy of motorsport to the water, the K7 is our innovation for families, resorts, and enthusiasts. Fully electric, it delivers a thrilling ride while remaining environmentally conscious — a testament to how fun and responsibility can coexist.

Both models align with the Congress’s focus on safety, performance standards, and decarbonization goals, reflecting NEKTON’s dedication to creating products that are as responsible as they are revolutionary.

Supporting Global Standardization and Certification

One of the key takeaways from the Congress was the importance of developing internationally harmonized regulations and certification pathways for hydrofoil and electric watercraft. NEKTON fully supports this initiative and is actively engaging with regulators, designers, and research institutes to:

  • Ensure our products are compliant with evolving EU directives and safety frameworks;

  • Promote transparency in performance benchmarks and safety protocols;

  • Contribute to a global dialogue on responsible water mobility.

We believe certification not only ensures user safety but also accelerates public trust in the next generation of marine technologies.

Building the Future of Foiling Sports

NEKTON shares the Congress’s excitement for the first-ever Foiling Sports Congress set to launch on Lake Garda later this year. As electric-powered foiling enters the realm of competitive sport, we see an incredible opportunity to:

  • Support athlete training with high-performance electric boards;

  • Sponsor events that encourage youth participation in water sports;

  • Collaborate with clubs and federations to evolve electric foiling into a mainstream competitive category.

We’re not just building equipment — we’re building a global movement where water becomes a playground for innovation and inclusion.

“Flow Together, Free Together” — Our Brand in Action

NEKTON’s mission is captured in our slogan: flow together, free together. This isn’t just a tagline — it’s our commitment to unite communities, promote access to the water, and liberate riders from the constraints of noise, pollution, and outdated tech.

Whether on a calm lake, a marina dock, or a coastal wave, our electric jetboards and water karts provide unforgettable moments of freedom — powered by clean energy and shaped by community values.

What's Next for NEKTON?

As we reflect on the insights from the World Foiling Congress, our path forward is clear:

  • Expand Global Distribution: Bringing NEKTON to more beaches, harbors, and water parks around the world.

  • Grow the NEKTON Community: Partnering with surf schools, resorts, and foiling clubs to build riding communities.

  • Accelerate R&D: Innovating in battery technology, hydrodynamics, and smart safety systems for the next generation of NEKTON devices.

The foiling future is not only airborne — it's electric, inclusive, and here to stay.

Join the Movement. Flow with NEKTON.
